Getting Started

SQLTools is a set of VS Code extensions that connect to, query, and display results from a SQL database manager. (Supported databases are listed below.)

The installation process is straightforward:

• Open VS Code
• Click the Extensions view (in the left bar), then search for @tag:sqltools-driver. This lists all the drivers available for SQLTools.
• Install the driver for your database. This also installs the core SQLTools extension.
• Click the SQLTools icon (in the left bar)
• Create a connection to your database. To do this, hover over CONNECTIONS in the SQLTools pane. Click the "Add New Connection" icon and choose the driver and enter the connection parameters.

You can then open and query it from within VS Code.

Supported Databases

To use SQLTools you will also need to install the appropriate driver extension for your database.

If the driver you want is not available, you can use our handy new drivers guide to write it yourself (and help our community in the process) or submit feedback via GitHub.

If you need a driver sooner, get in touch with the maintainers directly – we might be able to help you out.

Psst… we’re always on the lookout for maintainers for the official drivers, so let us know if this is something you’re interested in!
